Ah, another Saturday has rolled around here in Central PA and the weather is expected to be nice. Our high today is predicted to be around 60 (F), in fact for the next several days we're supposed to be getting that warm. A week ago the forecasters were telling us our daily highs were not going to get past the mid 50s (F). This must be what the wind blew in.
And yes, it was very windy yesterday. We were under a wind warning, with expected gusts as high as 50 miles per hour. Nothing was blown around in my back yard, so I don't think any of the big gusts gushed around my house. However, it was still windy enough for Howie to choose to stay inside more than outside. And as far as I can tell, the trick and treaters stayed off of my street, maybe the wind blew them all away.
Yesterday was ride day, and I was feeling energetic, so I spent an hour on the bike and rode over 14 miles in Corsica. I like that ride. There's a nice mix of hills and valleys. All that riding oxygenates my brain and when I'm working on a new book, ideas just keep popping off like little fireworks.
Also, many chores were accomplished yesterday, including vacuuming up the Howie hair. While the boxers did share, Howie is worse. My carpet will grow a coat of fur if I don't vacuum regularly. This means I frequently buy vacuum bags.
The old laser jet printer is also in the trash. Furniture in the writing room has been rearranged. Everything is fine.
I started scanning pictures into my computer yesterday, some are rather interesting. Here's Howie when he was a teeny weeny puppy.

Look at sweet baby Howie!! What a cutie. As for the shitshow in Congress, I'd like to know why they're still getting paid to do absolutely NOTHING.
ReplyDeleteHowie's a lot bigger now, but still adorable. And the shit show in Washington can't be over soon enough.
DeleteThis whole shutdown will hurt the GOP since, while regular govrenment employees are standing in line for food, Congress is getting paid their full salaries and benefits.
ReplyDeletePardon my French, as my mother used to say, but vote every single mother-fucking liar and cheater and hypocrite from office.
That's not actually French, but your mother was right.
DeleteThe repugs are always grabbing for that brass ring, and just when they have it in their grasp, it slips out from their greedy, grubby hands.

Truth. Their problems are their desperation and inability to understand the average American.
DeleteYes my friend. It’s true that the U.S. House sometimes adjourns or goes into recess while the Senate remains in session.
ReplyDeleteThat’s normal and happens frequently depending on legislative calendars or negotiations.
Sometimes that's true, but this government's being shut down because the minute they open up, the 218th vote will have to be sworn in and the Epstein Files released, and they will destroy both Trump and the Republican party.
DeleteThe puppy picture is adorable!!!! I think it funny when dogs lie like that.
ReplyDeleteNow his equipment keeps him from laying like that.
